First opened in 1952 as a regulation-length, nine-hole par-36, Center City Golf Course was among the earliest courses in San Diego County. In the early 1990s, Ludwig Keehn transformed it into an 18-hole short course, and locals soon began calling it “Goat Hill.” Beloved for its ocean vistas, steady coastal breeze, and unpolished, authentic vibe, it delivers a raw, pure brand of golf. Put simply, it’s hard to find another short course anywhere in the country that’s as demanding—and as full of distinctive, one-of-a-kind holes.
